Excellent, works here.

Once I changed a divert about:config setting (*) to true, when I click
a link in Evolution, Firefox (now) will open that link in the
background, in a new tab.

"browser.tabs.loadDivertedInBackground"

I just searched about:config for divert.

The first time a link opens the browser, it does pop to the foreground.
But once Firefox is running, subsequent links load in the background.

I'm running the Mate spin of Fedora 36, here, with very little
customisation of the default install.
